young people base their moral judgements on how a

Art Upsets, Science Reassures - 1,615 words
Art Upsets, Science Reassures 'Art upsets, science
reassures' (Braque) Analyse and evaluate this
claim. The difference between; reality and
fantasy, an accurate representation of what is,
and a brilliant orchestration of the mind, can
often become blurred with the paintbrush of an
artist. Yet, as Braque would surely agree, there
are certain areas knowledge that only serve to
reify our reality, saving us from delving into the
fantastic chasm of questions arising from art.
This specific area is of course science. One can
often become lost in art, in a never ending series
of inquiries as to how such a sculpture or
painting could be physically possible. Although,
science will reassure us as to w ...

The second political tradition is the

This can be accredited to the tribalism, which

Can Sociology Be Value Free - 1,275 words

tradition thus has a double intent; on the one
hand it engages in the primary sociological task
of describing and documenting the 'state of
society', on the other hand it addresses itself to
central social and political issues (Halsey et al
1980 in McNeill 1990 p12) The conclusion that can
be drawn from this is that there never has been a
value free sociology, just an attempt to merge a
value choice with objective research methods

positivist approach that fostered the

penalty, or "capital punishment"; this is the most
severe form of corporal punishment, requiring law
enforcement officers to actually kill the
offender. It has been banned in numerous

resorting to capital punishment for such serious
offenses namely murder. "Lex talionis", mentioned

Christianity Crisis - 2,306 words
Christianity Crisis There was a time, not long

considerable consensus on lifestyle questions and
social issues. We generally agreed on what we
should eat and drink and how we might spend our
weekends. There was little debate over definitions
of vulgarity or morality, and questions of fashion
were rarely a matter for discussion. In those
days, everyone knew how a family should be raised,
and aberrations such as divorce and abortion were
simply that: problems found only among hose
outside the fold. All of that has changed. Today
there is considerable disagreement on such
questions, and where there is not disagreement,
there is often a reluctant silence o ...

Clinical Psychology - 1,054 words

psychology can translate to mean "the science of

both a science and a profession. As a profession,
it is the application of understanding people and

concentrates on one specialty that is of
particular interest. There are many different
fields of psychology to study. Clinical
psychologists work with people with emotional and
mental problems (Career Discovery, 1997). A

African Americans defined themselves, particularly
African American women. It is still the same more
than 60 years later (Brown & Lieberson, 2000).

The theory maintains that culturally based
attitudes or predisposition such as
present-mindedness and obsessive-consumption are
the major barriers to economic mobility for many
of the poor. Lewis theory likewise implies that
this is not a short-lived financial predicament
for the poor, but a way of life bolstered by the
hopelessness of accomplishing even minor economic
goals. Lewis argues that there are certain
cultural characteristics among the poor in
industrial capitalist societies. Lewis and o ...
